I'M SOOOO SORRY FOR THE HORRENDOUS DELAY! But I'm on finals and between that and work and also RL happening to my beta it took a little. But the good news is the next chapter is almost done and I'll try to post this week!
I loved all your requests for the baby! Most of you asked for twins so Edward would have the experience, others wanted a girl so Marie would have her sister and others wanted a boy so Marie would be Edward's only little princess. My favorite was Flysax's reques for twin boys because there just weren't enough Edwards on the world!
Anyway, after reading your request I finally made up my mind, and you'll find out next chapter!
Special thanks to my beta Cattinson and awesome prereader Lisopera!
SM own everything BUT my beautiful ginger smurfs!
Chapter 37: Making Memories Of Us
"Making Memories Of Us" – Keith Urban
I'm gonna be here for you baby
I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a
voice that you have never heard
I wanna sleep with you forever
And I wanna die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where
the wild bees swarm
And I'm gonna love you
Like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust
Making memories of us
I'm tracing my fingers around her flat bare stomach as she lies naked next to me, marveling at the wonderful creature growing up inside of her. I lean down and give her a tender kiss on her navel as she massages my scalp.
"Hi baby." I whisper softly against her stomach.
"Hi." Bella giggles.
"I wasn't talking to you." I tease looking up and crawling my way back to lie next to her. I grab her face between my hands and kiss her soundly.
We are having a baby.
It's almost dinner time, after Bella had told me the news we had immediately run upstairs and shut the world outside. The kids were spending the night at my parents' house so we had all the time for us. We had just made love for the second time this afternoon and were just relaxing and surrounded with bliss.
"How did it happen?" I ask breaking the kiss and she snorts.
"How?" She arches an eyebrow suggestively.
I shake my head.
"You know what I mean… I thought you said you were on the pill the other day so I assumed you got your period."
"You assumed, and I never said I was on the pill… actually it was then when we were on the shower when you brought it up that I realized I never had it… I sneaked out to the pharmacy when you were getting the kids ready for your parents' house and I took a test."
"Why didn't you tell me then?"
"Because I wanted to wait and take another test, to make sure it wasn't a false positive."
"Is this why you wanted a March wedding then?" I play with a few strands of her hair.
She nods.
"It's not just because I don't want to look fat or anything, is more because I know we will be with our hands full in a few months and I want to enjoy every single step of this with you without worrying about wedding preparations and stuff." She shrugged "And if we wait for after the birth I'm afraid we will be too occupied and it will only drag on."
"I agree with you…" I kiss her again "so March it is?"
"Yes," she smiles brightly "Alice and I were looking for places… winter will be almost over but still cold outside so we thought about The Palais Royale, the ballroom has this beautiful view of the bay and it can accommodate to a small wedding… Alice called while we were out shopping for the kids' birthday and there is an opening for the 15th."
"The 15th is good… and I love the place, I think is perfect too."
"Thank you." She pulled me for another kiss. "I can't wait to marry you."
"I can't wait to marry you either… Mrs. Cullen."
She beamed at me as a tear fell down the corner of her eye.
"I can't believe how lucky I am…" I say as I leave a trail of kisses along her jaw "I have you, our kids… another little one on its way…" I touch her stomach again "I've never been this happy, I don't know how life can get better than this."
"I know."
"When do you think we should tell the others?"
"I want to wait… a few more weeks, I mustn't be too far so I guess it's better if we keep this to ourselves in case something happens." She frowns.
"It won't." I kiss her forehead "I'll take care of you but I get your point, my guess is it happened the night I found you at my house?" She nods "If we count the two weeks prior to the conception you must only be six weeks."
"Yes, I was thinking of not telling the kids at least until I'm three months, same for the others."
I can barely contain my joy, I don't know how I'm going to do that but I agreed no less.
"Alright, it'll be our little secret." I smile at her. "Now, get up."
"What?" She frowned.
"Get up," I say standing up from the bed "I'm taking you out tonight."
"Why?" She asks confusedly – sitting on the mattress- but I see the excitement in her eyes.
"It just occurred to me that since we got back together –aside from the Gala- we haven't been out on a real date, I want to rectify that. Besides the kids are spending the night with my parents, what better chance to go out just the two of us?"
"Alright," she stood on her knees on the mattress and pulled me towards her "I like the idea, so…" She circles her arms around my neck and pecks my lips "where are you taking me?"
"You'll see."
"What should I wear?"
I thought about it.
"What about the blue dress Alice got you for Christmas?" She smiled "Good, now go and get ready I have to make a call."
"Canoe?" She asks with a bright smile.
The same place we had our first date, I thought it was fitting as it was also our first real date in years.
"Where else?" I say opening the door on my side. "You look beautiful by the way."
She blushes and loosens her seatbelt as the valet opens the door for her. The other valet gives me the ticket and I go around the car and rush her into the building, not wanting her to catch anything. We walk into the lobby of the TD bank and take the nearest elevator to the top floor.
"You remember the last time we were here?" She smiles up at me.
"My birthday." I laugh, that had been the time we had gotten into a serious fight because a waitress had given me her number, and then Bella had tortured me walking in black lingerie all around the house without speaking to me.
"God, I was a mess that day… I had gone from angry to crying and horny in less than two minutes. But in my defense I was pregnant and a mess."
I chuckle as the elevator opens and we walk towards the host.
"And here you are pregnant again, should I request a male waiter? Just in case you feel like ripping someone's head off."
She sneered at me playfully.
"Very funny."
"Good evening Sir, madame…" The host greeted us "Do you have a reservation?"
"Yes, a table for two."
"Name?"
"Cullen."
"Alright, let me take your coats and please follow me." He said politely.
After leaving our coats on the front desk, the host took us to a table next to the back window, it was dark outside and light snowflakes fell from the sky as the city glowed in the dark, it was breathtaking.
"Your waiter will be here shortly, may I offer you something to drink meanwhile?"
"You want anything baby?"
"Mhmmm," she scanned the drinks menu "can I have an iced tea please?"
"Of course ma'am, and for you sir?"
"Same here."
"You want anything for starters?" He smiled politely at us.
"Is the lobster ok with you?" Bella asked me looking at the menu and I nod.
"Yarmouth Lobster it is, alright, I'll be back in a moment with your drinks."
The host left and I took Bella's left hand over the table and passed my thumb over her ring.
"You can drink, I don't mind." She tells me but I shake my head.
"I'm fine, plus I'm driving and with such precious cargo I better not risk it."
She giggled.
"What do you want such precious cargo to be?"
I shrugged.
"We already have one of each so I don't have any preference. You?"
"Me too, as long as it is healthy I don't mind. I'm sure Marie will have a preference though."
"It's ok, if it's a boy we can try for a girl later." I say liking the idea a lot but her eyes widen a little.
"Four kids? God, how many do you want?"
I shrug again.
"I don't know, I was Ok with two but I'm not gonna lie and say I didn't want more, you knew that already. As for how many, I don't know… as many as you'd be willing to give me."
"If it were for me I'd be happy with a soccer team, but I'm more worried about my weewee, I'm not a bunny you know?"
I laughed out loud.
The waiter arrived with our drinks and introduced herself as Amy, and then she proceeded to take our order.
I motion Bella to go first.
"Mhhh..." She scans the menu "I'll have the Alberta Lamb, but instead of the butterball potatoes can I switch it for mashed potatoes with grums?"
I smile knowingly at her and she rolls her eyes to me.
"Of course ma'am, and for you sir?"
"The rib eye, but can you change my potatoes for mashed ones as well?"
"Sure, anything else?"
I look at Bella and she shakes her head, her eyes twinkling.
"No, that'll be all thanks."
When the waitress is gone she speaks again.
"Are you planning on sharing some with me?"
"That depends, what are you wearing underneath that little blue dress?"
She smirks before taking a sip of her tea.
"Nothing at all."
I choke on my drink.
"Really?" I say with my voice full of lust.
"It's a tight dress you know?"
"Ugh, Bella…" I say feeling my pants a little tighter.
"What?" she says innocently.
I'm about to reply something, but the waiter arrived with the entrée placing it in the middle of the table.
"This looks delicious." She says as she takes a bite and moans, not helping with my problem. So I silently grab my fork and take a bite too.
We eat quietly for a minute, I'm thinking about if it would be to obvious if we both disappeared into the bathroom… or the elevator for a few minutes until Bella brings up another subject.
"Is Lee working tomorrow?"
"Yes, why?"
"We need an OB/GYN, are you ok with it being him?"
I shrug.
"He is good, as long as you are comfortable with him I have no problem. Who was your doctor with the twins?"
"Well, you know your dad monitored me but my main doctor was Dr. Sheppard, she is a friend of Carlisle's from Ottawa, do you know her?"
"I don't think so, but I trust Lee so I'm ok with him too. Should I use my influences and make an appointment for you for tomorrow?" I say excitedly.
I don't know what she sees in my face but tears break through her eyes as she nods frantically, I move my chair next to her and wrap my arms around her as she hides her face in my shoulder.
"I'll never forgive myself for taking this from you the first time." He voice trembles.
I pull away and kiss her tears away.
"Shh… it's Ok, you are here now."
"I'm so sorry."
"I forgave you a long time ago… now, let's not think about that anymore and look for the future."
"I'd love that." She grabs my face between her hands and pecks my lips as I dry the rest of her tears with her napkin.
It was a beautiful night, so after dinner we drove down Bay Street until we reached Harbour Front were we parked to take a stroll along the pier. It was covered with a fine layer of snow from this evening, but the sky was clear and you could see the stars much like night at the Gala. There were a few passer bys, and the front's streetlamps were adorned in twinkle lights and holiday's stuff. A man played the guitar and sang in the distance breaking the silence of the otherwise peaceful night. I kept my right arm around Bella's shoulder trying to keep her warm as we came to a stop and I caged her against the banister of the pier and kissed her.
"Thanks for tonight I've missed doing this with you." She whispered "I mean, I love any minute with you and the kids but… we needed a night out alone."
"I know," I tipped my head down to kiss her "I promise we'll do this more often."
I placed a lock of hair behind her ear and stared at her beautiful brown eyes.
"Would you tell me what's been worrying you all night now?"
I snorted.
"How did you know?"
"You are wearing your worry face again." She pressed her thumb between my eyebrows.
I rolled my eyes at her but nuzzled her cheek making her giggle.
"Don't sidetrack me," She grabbed my face making me look at her "what is it, is it about Tanya?" she tried to keep calm but I saw the panic behind her eyes so I reassured her immediately.
"No, no… it's not about Tanya."
"Then what is it?"
I sighed.
"I was going to tell you today when I got home, but you told me about the baby you were so happy and excited I didn't want to ruin the mood, same for tonight. I was going to tell you later tonight when we got home."
"Just tell me now Edward, I'm fine."
I sighed.
"Rene came to the clinic today."
Her eyes went wide with shock.
"What? Why? How did she find you?"
"Tyler," I explained "She wanted to talk to me."
"What did she possibly want to talk to you about?" She said a little angry. "Did she ask you for money or something?"
"God no! No, she didn't ask for that… she wanted to talk about you."
"What about me?" She crossed her arms pulling away a little.
"Calm down baby, it's Ok…" I soothed her arms.
"What did she want?" She pressed.
"She said she wanted you, that she was sorry for leaving and wanted my help."
Her eyes clouded with pain, shit this is what I wanted to avoid for her.
"What did you say?" She asked with her voice full of hurt. I kissed her forehead and looked back at her.
"That I wasn't going to help her, that it was up to you if you wanted to talk to her which I doubted it. We got into a fight about it, so she left me a card with her phone number after I asked her to leave."
"Throw it away you are right I don't want to talk to her."
"Whatever you want to do I'll support you."
"Thanks." She gave me a sad smile. "What else did she say?"
I shrugged.
"The same old story, that she regretted leaving but was afraid to come back."
She scoffed.
"Sure, that's why she married that other guy in Vegas the minute Charlie signed the divorce papers."
"I'm sorry baby."
"Don't be I'm not going to give her a second thought, she had more than twenty years but never initiated any kind of contact. Not a card on my birthday, much less a phone call. I can't believe her cynicism, I'm done with her."
I sighed in relief as she said that, much more now that I knew her state. I didn't want anything to stress her unnecessarily, I just wanted her to be happy and if Rene was lying I didn't want her to be disappointed. She had cried enough, she deserved to enjoy this new phase of our lives.
"Good, now let's go back home. I think is going to snow again and I want to see what's under that dress."
And like that, her good humor was back.
She is on top of me, riding me with force and determination. It feels so good and I watch with lust as her breasts bounce up and down with her rapid movements.
"Bella." I grunt.
I'm close… so close.
She leans down kissing me hard and I grab her hips as mines trust upwards meeting her movements.
She leans back again our breaths are hard and labored as she increases the pace.
I look up to her, wanting to see those gorgeous eyes of hers as I feel her walls contract. They are beautiful, full of lust and desire but then she smiles. And it's not her smile, it's wicked… malicious. Her eyes are not brown anymore they are an iced blue color that send shivers down my spine.
I woke up with a start, my heart going a miles per hour and drenched in sweat. I look around me frantically, until my eyes land on the sleeping form next to me and I take in a deep breath to calm myself.
Just a nightmare.
I stand up from the bed pull on my boxers that were lying on the floor and go into the bathroom to wash my face, it's five already but still a little too early to start my day. After drying my face I look at myself in the mirror.
She's been too silent, and I don't like that.
I go downstairs doing my usual routine scanning the house just in case. I check the cameras from the monitors in the study on the first floor before checking the second floor. We really step up a notch with security around the house, especially since Banner retired one of the cruisers that were watching over the house leaving us with just one. They are still looking for her but they don't think she'll come to the house, it would be too obvious and she knows we are being watched over.
After I check on the first floor again, I take Sam and bring him with me back upstairs. He immediately goes for Marie's room and jumps on her bed. I guess he missed her.
I go back into our room and lay back next to Bella, wrapping my arms around her and drawing her to me. She hums in her sleep and rolls to her other side burying her face in my neck.
"Found any crazy chicks?" She teases half asleep and I chuckle quietly.
"You are safe," I kiss her hair "go back to sleep."
"Me not want to." She quoted Andrew making me smile. She opens her eyes slowly and stares at mine. "Are you Ok?" She plays with my hair behind my ear.
"Just a nightmare." I brushed it off.
"Wanna talk about it?"
I shake my head.
"It was more like a bad memory. Go back to sleep."
She looked at me sadly, probably having an idea of it.
She lifted her head and pulled my face to hers, giving me a tender kiss. It started slow, soft and full of love, then I felt her hitch her leg over my waist.
"I love you." She whispers against my lips. "Stop worrying…"
"You are my life," I place my hand on her belly "I never thought you'd be more precious to me, I'm afraid of losing you again."
"That'll never happen, I'll rather die than stay away from you."
I grab her face and give her a hard kiss.
"Don't say that."
"Then stop worrying and make love to me."
I kissed her again as my hands roamed down her body, feeling her soft skin on my fingers. She made a move to turn me on my back and straddle me, but I caught her hips and turned her on her back instead. She frowned at me but as soon as my lips were on her again the frown was gone. I pressed my groin against her apex and a little moan escaped her lips.
I lowered my right hand and rubbed my fingers along her entrance, her breathing and the wetness gathered there told me she was ready. I aligned my body against hers and slowly entered her.
As always, the rollercoaster of sensations hit me. It never get old, the feeling of completeness and that sensation that everything was right in the world whenever I was with her.
I started to move in and out of her slowly, our moans and breathes the only sound in the room. My mouth found her breasts, and she pulled at my hair as I sucked on her nipples. Then I continued my journey upwards, kissing her neck, her shoulder, her jaw until I reached her mouth again.
"I love you, my only girl." I breathed.
"Only yours… God, you feel so good."
A few minutes later, we finally let go. I fell on top of her, panting and breathing hard, still overcome with my orgasm. I turned on my side and I felt her snuggle next to me, I turned to her devouring her mouth with a long passionate and needy kiss.
"Edward, are you Ok?"
She stopped the kiss, taking a hold of my face to look into my eyes. I closed them and rested my forehead on hers.
"I'm sorry… I'm just worried."
She lifted my face making me look at her again.
"I'm here," She kissed my chest above my heart "We are Ok... shhh… I love you."
"I can't lose you Bella I'd go mad if something happened to you."
"Hey," She took my hand kissing it before placing it on her cheek. "I'm here, I'm not going anywhere without you."
"Promise?"
"I promise… now, do you want to talk about your nightmare?"
I sighed.
"It was more like a memory about that night," I started "You were there… then you weren't and… she was there instead of you, it was a little unsettling."
"I can imagine." She kissed my wrist. "I'm sorry pretty boy, is there something I can do?"
I smiled at here.
"Your presence is enough."
She returned my smile.
"Good, now let's go back to sleep we have a long day ahead of us."
I kissed her one last time and closed my eyes, her warmth and presence sending a wave of peace around me. Suddenly, everything was better.
"Honey, can you pass me the juice please?"
I handed Bella the jug of OJ as I swallowed my pancakes. She had done this great feast for breakfast I thought I was about to explode. She had done eggs, pancakes, bagels, toast, fruit and yogurt. She said she couldn't figure it out what to eat so she made a little bit of everything.
"Did you talk to Lee?" she asked as she poured herself her juice.
"No, but I talked to Heidi she said he has an opening at noon. Does that work for you?"
"Yes, that's good we can have lunch together afterwards."
"That's what I was thinking about."
"Did you tell Heidi not to mention anything to your dad? I don't want anyone to know yet."
"Yes, don't worry about it. Now, I better go or I'll be late."
I stood up and took my dishes to the sink, and then I went upstairs to brush my teeth. When I was done and ready to go I walked into the foyer where she was waiting for me to see me go. I put on my coat and opened the door.
"Bye beautiful," I kissed her forehead and leaned down to kiss her stomach "Bye nugget."
Bella giggled placing her hand on her stomach.
"Ok, go! I'm freezing!"
"Sorry." I chuckled kissing her one more time before turning around and starting with my day.
A knock on my door distracts me from my book, I look up to see Jasper poking his head.
"Hey man, are you busy?"
"Hey! No, come in. What are you doing here?"
"Alice had a check up with Lee she is talking to your dad now so I thought about paying you a visit." He says sitting on the chair in front of my desk.
"How is she?"
"Everything is perfect." Jasper smiled "Ten toes, ten fingers. She'll be here in four weeks."
"That's awesome, I'm happy for you."
"Thanks, and how about you? How is everything going between you and Bella?"
I knew I had huge smile on my face by now.
"Everything is great I took her to canoe last night."
"Nice, what was the occasion?"
I tried not to grin wider.
"Nothing in particular, Bella's been cooking a lot in the oven so I thought about giving her a break."
Jasper's eyes went wide.
"She is pregnant?!"
What the hell?!
"Wha-? Why? How did you figure it out so fast?!"
He threw me a duh look.
"You weren't to smooth per see… but wow, so she is pregnant? That's awesome!"
"Shit, she is going to kill me." Fuck "Don't say anything, we wanted to wait a little, she is only a few weeks along and you know how these things are."
"Yes, of course… but wow! Congratulations man!" He grinned.
"Thanks." I said letting out a sigh of relieve, I was dying to share the news with someone. I was so excited and happy I wanted to talk about it, even though it was still so surreal.
"Wow, you are going to be a dad again. You must be ecstatic."
I beamed.
"I am you have no idea. She is coming in a few minutes for the first ultrasound with Stanley."
"Then, I better drag Alice away." He said standing up "If she sees her here she is going to figure it out immediately and you know she is not the most prudent person."
"Thanks." I said walking him to the front desk where dad and Alice were chatting away, Alice showing him all the new ultrasound pictures.
"Eddie! Look, this is your niece! Isn't she beautiful?!" She shoved the pictures in front of my face.
"She is," I kissed her hello "She has your tiny nose too." I teased and she smacked me playfully.
"Be nice, oh! Did Bella tell you about the Palais Royale?" Her eyes went brighter.
"She did, I think it's perfect too."
"YEI! Ok, then we better go. I need to call her and hurry with preparations."
"Call her in about two hours I think she was meeting with her boss right now." I lied.
"Mike? Ugh, ok… I guess I'll call her after lunch. Mmhmm lunch… Jasper let's go to Mc Donald's!"
Jasper made a face but hid it quickly before Alice could notice it. Smart man. Then she took his hand and dragged him out of the clinic.
"Well that was fun." Dad smiled "I'll be in my office if anyone needs me." He turned around and walked down the hallway and as if on cue, the bell rang and I looked up to see my pretty girl walk into the clinic.
"Hi gorgeous." I beamed at her.
Shit, I'm meeting my baby. I was too excited and nervous at the same time about this, I could barely keep still jumping to one foot to the other. All day long I kept glancing at my watch waiting for noon.
"Your timing was perfect, Alice and Jasper just left."
"I know, I saw them getting into their car." She stood on her toes and kissed my cheek. "Are you ready to meet our baby?"
Damn, I felt my eyes sting.
"I think so." I smiled at her.
I took her hand and walked us to Lee's office.
"Are you nervous?" I ask her but she shakes her head.
"Not at all, I'm pretty excited… it's so different this time around, I have you with me to hold my hand." I give her hand a small squeeze and kiss her temple.
"Yes, I'll be with you in every step."
I knock on Lee's door and he tells us to come in, as soon as he sees us he gives us a wide smile.
"So it is true, I didn't read my schedule wrong."
"Hi Lee." I shake his hand.
"Hi Edward, Bella nice to see you again. Please take a seat." He motioned us to sit down. "Heidi told me you didn't want anyone to know yet, so don't worry about Carlisle finding out because of me."
"Thanks, we really appreciate it."
"So Bella, before making the ultrasound I need to ask you a few questions first Ok?"
"Alright." She said confidently.
Lee started to ask Bella the usual questions and a few about her first pregnancy. Bella told him about all the difficulties with the twins, it was hard on both of us to talk about it because of everything that happened and Lee was all professional about it by not asking inappropriate questions.
When he was done with his questioning he gave Bella a robe and asked her to change for the ultrasound, then he asked me to wait in the exam room next to his office.
I was bouncing my knee in my seat as I waited for Bella to come back and Lee laughed at me.
"Easy there, if you are this nervous about an ultrasound I can't imagine how you'd be with the birth."
I let out a strangled laugh.
"I know, I just want for everything to be Ok."
"It'll be, Bella is a healthy woman and knowing you you'll make sure she doesn't even move a finger for the next 8 months."
I laughed again as Bella finally entered the room, she blushed as I took in her attire and winked at her.
"You ready?" Lee asked and Bella nodded hopping up and laying on the gurney. As soon as she got comfortable she took my hand. Lee took the hem of the gown and lifted it upwards.
"Ok, I'm going to pour some of this gel over your belly… it might be cold."
Lee sprayed the blue gel over Bella's stomach, then took the probe and placed it over Bella's belly at the same time he pushed some buttons on the keyboard. Seconds later we heard a strange sound coming from the machine.
"Is that…" I wasn't able to finish my sentence.
Lee nodded.
"Yes, that's the heartbeat." He confirmed "It's strong…" Then Lee turned the monitor and there it was, Bella's hold on my hand tightened and I brought her fingers to my mouth. My eyes couldn't tear away from the screen, even though the only thing I was seeing was this little peanut I couldn't look away.
From my peripheral vision I saw Lee stand up and leave the room giving us a moment, and I couldn't be more grateful.
"That's our baby." I said in awe.
"The look on your face… I've never seen you this beautiful before." She said making me look down at her. I leaned down and captured her lips with mine.
"Thank you for this."
"Don't thank me, you made it too…" She cried "You think it's a boy or a girl?" She looked back at the screen.
"I don't know and I don't care, it's still beautiful. Like its mommy." I smiled at her.
"We'll see I want him or her to have your eyes again."
I snorted.
"And I want him to be a mini you so I can spoil him or her without complaining."
She rolled her eyes at me.
"I think it's a boy." She said then looking back at the monitor.
"Really?"
"Yes, I have a feeling Andrew will have his partner in crime soon."
"I'm looking forward to the challenge." I kissed her lips hard. "I have a confession to make, please don't be mad at me?"
"What did you do?" She looked amused.
"I kind of accidentally on purpose not wanting to told Jasper about the baby?" I flinched a little.
"What?!"
"He got it out of me!"
She laughed.
"It's Ok baby, I'm not mad at you. Let's hope Alice won't kill him when she finds out he knew before her and didn't tell her. If he is able to keep it from her long enough."
I chuckled and kissed her forehead just as Lee knocked on the door and came in.
"So, you want me to print some pictures?"
"Yes!" I said immediately.
Lee printed a couple of pictures and chuckled when I gave him a DVD so he could save the video too. When he was done, he asked me to leave the room so he could do the physical exam. I kissed Bella and told her I would be waiting for her on my office.
I walked into my office and shrugged off my doctor's coat hanging it on the back of the door, as soon as Bella was done with Lee we were going out to have lunch. I just needed to call mom and see if she could keep the twins for a couple more hours before Bella picked them up. I took my phone and dialed her number, she answered after the third ring.
"Hello?" She said a little breathless.
"Hi mom, it's Edward."
"Oh, hi sweetie! How are you?"
"I'm fine, how are you? Are you still alive?"
"Oh yes, we are all having such a great time! I took them to chuck and cheese yesterday, Liam was so excited you should have seen them all together! There was this big kid trying to steal the blocks Marie was playing with, and Andrew and Liam stepped up for her! It was so fucking cute!"
My heart melted.
"Really? Is she Ok?"
"Yes, don't worry about her she has her own personal bodyguards. I think Liam has a crush on her."
I groaned, first Jacob and now Liam?
Mom laughed at me.
"Don't be silly, they are just kids."
"That's exactly my point… agh, anyway I was calling to see if you could keep them a couple more hours, Bella and I are having lunch together."
"Of course! I was actually hopping you could come for dinner tonight and pick them up then? I can't have enough!"
"We'll see about that, I'll tell Bella and we'll call you in about an hour."
"Sure, we'll be waiting… What was that sweetie? Yes, it's your dad… Edward, Marie wants to speak to you."
I smiled to myself.
"Put her on the phone."
Two seconds later I heard my princess' voice.
"Daddy?"
"What's up princess?"
"Where are you?"
"I'm at work, are you having fun with nana?"
"Yes! But I miss you, I want to go home."
"Aww I miss you too pretty little girl… mommy and I will pick you up after lunch, is that Ok?"
She thought for a moment.
"Okaaay," She dragged "I love you daddy."
"I love you more princess, would you send me a kiss?" Marie made a kissing sound and I laughed. "Thanks beautiful, I'll see you soon."
"Ok, hurry."
"I will, now can you put nana back on the phone?"
"Yes, nana daddy wants to speak to you!"
"Hello?"
"Did you hear?"
"Yes, so I guess you are not staying for dinner?"
"We can work it out, it's a slow day so I might just leave with Bella and go straight to your house and hang around until dinner."
"That's perfect! I'll call the rest, see you soon baby."
"Bye mom."
I hung up and placed my phone on my desk just as Bella entered my office.
"Everything Ok?" I asked and she smiled brightly at me.
"Everything seems fine he said we should expect him or her around August."
"Cant's wait." She sat on my lap and I nuzzled her neck. "So, Lunch?"
"Please! I'm starving."
"I was thinking about café crêpe, does that sound good to you?"
"Yes, let's go."
We stood up and I put my coat, took her hand and walked us out of the office.
When we hit the entrance I walked to Heidi's desk.
"Heidi, I'm taking off… I won't come back after lunch but if there's an emergency call me."
"Of course Dr. Cullen, have a nice day." She smiled tenderly at us.
I knew she was happy for us, the woman was like a mother to me and she loved Bella.
"Thanks, can I steal two lollipops from the bowl for the twins?"
"Of course! Purple and red, Right?"
"Yes." I chuckled as she handed them to me, then I turned around and took Bella's hand again walking us out of the clinic.
"Why aren't you coming back after lunch?"
I shrugged.
"I called mom to tell her you'd pick the kids after lunch, she invited us to dinner but Marie said she wanted to go home and missed us so I thought about hanging out at my parents' until dinner instead."
"That sounds good, should I bring something?" We stopped at the red light, waiting for the green to cross the street.
"Nah, you know mom she always goes overboard anyway."
The stop light changed so it was our turn to cross the street, just as we hit the other side of the street I groaned.
"Fuck, I left phone in my office… wait here I'll be back in a moment."
I turned around in the pavement and started to cross the street, but I hadn't even taken five steps when I heard a terrifying screeching sound suddenly having an odd sense of déjà vu. I look up to see a black Mercedes coming straight to me.
"EDWARD!" Bella screamed, but it was all too fast. I closed my eyes prepared for the impact which I felt it a second later but not from the direction I was expecting. I opened my eyes disoriented, there was a lot of yelling and screaming.
"Sir, are you Ok?" A man asked but I wasn't listening, I look around frantically until found her.
Her eyes were closed as she lay lifeless on the ground, blood pouring from a wound in her head.
"BELLA!"
*Goes back to hide under a rock* *Pops head from under the rock*
Please don't kill me?
